12:37 am

I knew that part, and the Muslims too, of course... but Imean, the Copts probably don't "do" Halloween...? And there's not enough expat Americans to make a show?

No one would react -- how can you get your kids out to trick or treat when no one in the neighborhood would know what to do. And the religious always would remind you that it is a pagan-Christian thing. Which incidently they do on New Years Eve as well.

I remember a Halloween party at boarding school in England. We bobbled for apples, had to guess hidden smells, and best of all, had to go down in the dark to the "ghost hole" and shake hands with a "spook" (a teacher) who was holding a squishy rotten pear, eewwww!

Religious Jews oppose celebrating New Years Eve because it is St. Sylvester Night and comes from a pagan-Christian background.

12:43 am

jaianniah

He to*** with me...He wasn't serious!

12:43 am

12:43 am

hey guys...i am stuck here esp the e on the bottom right

12:44 am

And St. Sylvester Night is based on Janus, the pre-Christian Roman god of the change-of-year.

12:44 am

Of course. And Rosh Hashana (New Years) is a religious holiday -- family meals & synagogue kind of thing

Jilli, the Protestant churches here are not keen on All Souls NOR All Saints, and feel (with hefty justification) that Halloween has become secular (and with less justification, they feel it's downright demonic).

cauzneffct

ey 6/24?

5:56 am

pida 1

beautiful, glad for you

5:56 am

Sherylr1961

pl the ey 4/6 cauze

5:57 am

Haz1558

tu7 - relates to the French verb - to use the tu form of you rather than vous.

5:58 am

cauzneffct

thanks

5:59 am

Haz1558

And ovum is the singular, ova is the plural so ovas would be overkill.

6:00 am

bichon

on the ey 6, the 4 word is already plural. how do you plural it?

6:00 am

kthdsn

ty for clearing up the ovas thing haz, but I need more help with that tu7

6:01 am

bichon

nm got it

6:02 am

Sherylr1961

use the second vowel and the s

6:02 am

Haz1558

tu7 - tu plus the past tense of a plaything made into a verb.

6:03 am

kthdsn

oh duh, I already have it, I really should wake up!

6:03 am

Sign

wow that is quite the block of T's

I like being with the family for the holidays, I just hate shopping for presents that I know will get shelved no matter how hard I try, or broken in ten minutes by the kids.

8:37 am

evanonut

bunny, we do prank gifts or $2 gifts

8:37 am

sapphie1

8:38 am

That would be nice, but can't get away with that one, and I have a HUGE family!

8:38 am

Wolvie

are the u words (except for the 4/4) a bit bizarre today or what. Wowsa

8:39 am

kthdsn

thats why I hate christmas bunny, I don't get to spend it with my family, I can't afford to buy people what they really want, I can't stand the way the shops sell junk noone wants, I hate lying to the children about santa, I hate the way all the gifts I get are disappointing, and it's so much effort for what is just a cold, boring, fattening day

8:39 am

Charm

un5/16 = un + speak.

I hope you get to finish sapphie

oops, sorry, Wolvie. misunderstood....

8:40 am

most of my family is on the other side of the world, it just reminds me how much I miss them

8:40 am

maybe you hate the holiday, not christmas itself?

8:40 am

easy to do - I'm normally crying for help. :-)

8:41 am

bunnyvicious

Aw kth, people always tell us not to buy for them if we are having a bad year, but then they buy for us, makes me feel like crap. I've learned to just focus on my kids and I bake up a storm of treats for the rest of the family as gifts.

8:41 am

kthdsn

plus I'm not religious in the slightest so the whole thing has no meaning to me whatsoever

8:41 am

abe79

your point is well taken, kthdsn- sometimes Christmas can get out of hand

8:42 am

Where is the rest of your family at?

8:42 am

kthdsn

they moved to toronto 3 years ago

8:42 am

Wolvie

We decided long ago to either get one big thing for us, or use any present money for travel, and just send good wishes, etc., to the extended family. We may give small stocking stuffer stuff to each other, but that's it

8:45 am

Charm

For the holidays, I usually send a photo of the baby and a short note about what he's doing. I figure that's all anyone is interested in anyway. This year, I plan to make the cards myself - rubber stamps and some water color paints. simple and cheap but nice anyway.

Oh, definitely not in Martha's class. I don't have a staff of thousands - just me, the dog and the 4yo working a conveyor belt.

8:46 am

kthdsn

I think I'll do the same charm, sounds a lot nicer than buying some shoddy old christmasy junk for people to throw away

8:47 am

Wolvie

much better deal, IMO. :-)

8:48 am

Charm

kthdsn, I just glance through craft magazines for ideas and then simplify them down to a level I can manage. It's fun and interesting to see what other people can do.

9:14 am

tndaisy1960

lol metal...maybe it'll all be ok

9:15 am

mattygroves

Any clues for the Y?

9:15 am

metaleather

well, if he doesn't actually talk about the disemboweling while in the psych testing it might be ok for the test portion.

9:16 am

kthdsn

way over y*er

9:16 am

chiley

I have 3 ne's....the bird's home and the thing you hit tennis balls over...with a double consonant and the plural

9:16 am

metaleather

however, he's headed to the car repair guys after the tests and I wouldn't want to be the mechanic, the shop manager or anyone connected with them. (we just spent over 1500.00 we didn't really have to spare to fix this same problem)

9:16 am

kthdsn

ty chiley, I'm *sure* I tried that

9:17 am

mattygroves

Thanks Kth

9:17 am

kthdsn

ouch metal that's not good

9:17 am

tndaisy1960

that sux

9:17 am

metaleather

*that's the same problem that made the car stop running ... on the way to the testing this morning

9:18 am

metaleather

exactly kt

9:18 am

metaleather

this particular shop has always been pretty good/reliable in the past so I'm hoping they'll step up to the plate and do what's right

9:19 am

metaleather

otherwise, Klingon's blood pressure's gonna go through the roof. and if he keels over, that means I'll go on the warpath.

9:19 am

tndaisy1960

they'd better, or Klingy will have them for breakfast!

9:19 am

Anniebrook

metal, disemboweling is not such a bad idea..after spending all that money and the problem still exists, give them one more chance and I'm sure it will okay if they are threatened....darn mechanics

9:19 am

metaleather

and, Klingon or not, He's nothing compared to me when I'm P.O'd

9:20 am

tndaisy1960

you haven't seen ME P.O.d yet! lol I lose it completely

9:21 am

metaleather

as near as we can figure out... the physical part of the problem was repaired... the mechanical bits were replaced and so on... that means it is in the computer system.

9:21 am

kthdsn

Us girls are definitely better at being POd than whimpy guys

9:21 am

metaleather

oh heck yeah

9:21 am

tndaisy1960

you don't need a mechanic then....you need Techzilla!

9:21 am

metaleather

maybe so...

9:22 am

tndaisy1960

and 'Zilla used to work on cars!

9:22 am

metaleather

cool

9:22 am

metaleather

send him over

9:22 am

tndaisy1960

yes, you may borrow him, just keep him outside

9:22 am

metaleather

oh, to top things off.....

9:24 am

metaleather

when Klingon paid for the last portion of the car repairs... instead of grabbing his Visa CC, he grabbed his Debit card.... which meant that the six charges made to the debit card after the car repairs were paid for were overdrafts... first time in his life Klingon has had that happen... 108.00 OD charges, isn't that a kick in the teeth?

9:25 am

kthdsn

wow that's an expensive overdraft

9:25 am

tndaisy1960

oh no! set it up the way Zilla did...so that savings will cover overdrafts...

9:25 am

metaleather

I tell ya, if he doesn't have a stroke by the time this is all finished it'll be a miracle

9:25 am

evanonut

and they didn't refund any of it for yo umetal?

9:25 am

kthdsn

g2g work

9:25 am

metaleather

Klingon doesn't have a savings account... luckily, I did though and we just transferred the funds over

9:25 am

metaleather

six charges at 28.00 a pop

9:26 am

evanonut

metal, honestly, if they won't refund any of those charges, then it's time to change banks

9:26 am

harpjane

hello

9:26 am

torgone

Could be worse- OD's cost me $35 ..

9:26 am

metaleather

so, we took as 1000.00 out to cover the original car rep. cost, the OD charges.... and things are pretty squared away there

9:27 am

metaleather

banks these day go for blood don't they torg?

9:27 am

metaleather

hi harpjane

9:28 am

kthdsn

I'm back

9:28 am

kthdsn

banks must work differently over there

9:29 am

metaleather

I agree eva, but think if we can just get the car going and keep it that way withoug Klingon popping his cork... I'll settle for that. If I add doing war with the bank to the mix (which already includes finding a lawyer to sue the * &%$#* who totaled our other car) it could be "fatal"

9:29 am

torgone

I got nicked for an OD cause I was short on the day I made the purchase, even though I covered it before the charge was officially posted ..

9:29 am

kthdsn

here you get an overdraft limit, if you stay within your limit then you pay monthly debit interest, if you go over the limit, it costs £20 or so for each month you are over, no matter what the amount is

9:30 am

evanonut

no one ever had to war with me when i worked at the bank, if they gave me a valid reason for od's, i was allowed to give back three fees, without approval.

9:30 am

I want an account with your bank kt
